Background Technology

[0002] Stainless steel possesses excellent processing properties, strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it widely used in aerospace, automotive, electrical, and shipbuilding industries. However, stainless steel has poor thermal conductivity, with a coefficient of approximately 44 W / (m*K), making it unsuitable for environments requiring efficient heat dissipation. Meanwhile, copper exhibits good thermal and electrical conductivity, but its strength decreases after annealing, and it is prone to deformation, hindering its application in environments demanding high material strength. Stainless steel and copper offer highly complementary advantages. To broaden their applications, stainless steel-copper composite components have emerged. Currently, copper-steel functional graded materials are widely used in aerospace, military, power generation, heat transfer devices, and the nuclear industry.

[0003] Currently, stainless steel / copper composite components are manufactured using traditional forging, pressing, and sintering processes. These processes result in low interfacial strength and are prone to defects such as incomplete fusion, porosity, and cracks, leading to component failure. Furthermore, the strength and mechanical properties of ordinary copper alloys are far inferior to those of stainless steel. This causes a significant abrupt change in the mechanical properties of the two metals, with the softer copper side experiencing premature wear. Summary of the Invention

[0075] Example 5

[0076] Step 1: Preparation method of copper alloy cladding layer of stainless steel / copper composite component: metal powders are weighed according to mass percentage: copper powder 30%, manganese powder 10%, tin powder 30%, nickel powder 10%, silicon powder 5%, and aluminum powder 15%, and the sum of the mass percentages of the above components is 100%; all the weighed powders are first mixed by a powder mixer at a speed of 70r / min for 3h; when preparing the flux-cored wire, the drawing speed of the wire is set to 5mm / s, and the matching filling speed is 3g / s; the diameter of the flux-cored wire is reduced every 0.2mm until the diameter is 1.2mm, and the filling rate is 19%; the prepared copper alloy flux-cored wire is stored in a moisture-proof cabinet;

[0077] Step 2: The size of the stainless steel plate used is 150mmx150mmx10mm, and the stainless steel plate with a grade of 1Cr12Ni2WMoV is used as the workpiece base material; the surface oxide scale and impurities are removed by grinding with an angle grinder, and the stainless steel surface is ground to be flat and smooth;

[0078] Step 3: 3D modeling of the copper alloy cladding layer by arc cladding is performed, a three-dimensional model of the copper alloy cladding layer is established, the motion trajectory in the 3D printing preparation process is designed, and finally the above process is converted into a program suitable for the operation of the arc welding robot;

[0079] In step 3, PRO / E modeling software is used to model the copper alloy cladding layer; the designed motion trajectory in the 3D printing preparation process is as follows: when the copper alloy cladding layer is arc cladded, the path is selected as a single-layer multi-pass, reciprocating path to complete a single-layer multi-pass accumulation and repeat layer-by-layer accumulation of three layers to complete the preparation of the copper alloy cladding layer; and the designed spacing ensures that the interpass overlap rate is 55%-60% when the copper alloy cladding layer is single-layer multi-pass accumulated; the above process is converted into a program and imported into the MIG robot.

[0080] Step 4: The flux-cored wire prepared in step 1 is loaded into the MIG robot, and MIG welding is used to perform cladding on the stainless steel plate; the process parameters are set as follows: cladding voltage is 22V, cladding current is 220A, welding speed is 0.5m / min, arc swing width is 6mm, protective gas is argon with a volume fraction of 99.99%, and gas flow is 12L / min; when the robot MIG is used for cladding, the welding gun angle is always perpendicular to the substrate, and the interlayer temperature is controlled at 160℃ when the second and third layers are cladded.
